I was surprised and honored to find some of my writing on the list in spring of 2008, shortly after I started blogging. It continued to be an important note for me, seeing that little pingback on my dashboard when the list went up … the assurance that not everything I was writing was frivolous nonsense. It was an even greater honor to have several posts nominated for the “Best of” award in 2009, and to have one of my posts win its category!

But don’t check them out because a post or two of mine is listed. Check them out for all the amazing writing you’ll find from other people. I’ve discovered some really wonderful blogs through the Just Posts, and I hope you will, too.

The monthly roundup has ended … though I keep hoping this turns out to be a long pause and not a forever goodbye. Most of the archived posts are still up, however, and still make good reading:

Just to be clear …

I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about a lot of things. I also have a job. The thoughts and feelings expressed on this blog are mine. They have nothing to do with my job and are certainly not in any way meant to represent the thoughts or feelings of my employer.
